Sociologists use theories to understand society and the observations they have made about it. There are three types of sociological theories: symbolic interactionism, functional analysis, and conflict theory. Each theory provides a unique point of view in which to interpret society (15). According to symbolic interactionists, society relies on symbols. Symbols are the things with which we attribute value or significance, and understanding these symbols is important to understanding our…

the functionalist perspective and the conflict theory are two out of the three major theoretical perspectives in sociology. The functionalist perspective is viewing how society contributes, then seeing how it contributes as a whole. The conflict theory are the tensions that arise from scarce resources. How I like to remember the functionalist perspective is thinking about it like the human body. Skin is what holds the human body, so do norms and values to bind society together. The conflict…

Because of Florida's geological history, the surface soils that supports structures consist of clay and loose sands. Areas of the home may settle and crack due to washed out footings. Moisture…

forces can also be called 'dead' and 'live' loads. When these forces all act on a bridge at the same time it is pot under structural stress, and some parts can reach structural fatigue if too much pressure and load is placed on them for too long. Failure occurs when a member reaches its limit, and cannot support any more load, therefore breaking (Sansano, 2013). The structural elements of the Waddell a-truss bridge include two trusses, which each have compressive and tensile components. The…
